What about his speech being “his brother’s keeper?”
“why is Colin Powell referred to as “African-American”? As I recall from reading his autobiography some years ago, his family all emigrated from the West Indies (Jamaica?) within the last generation or two. Hardly a slave descendant!”
So I ask just why did all those blacks end up in Jamaica? They sure didn’t go there for the nice beaches. If his family came from the West Indies then yes they were more than likely decedents of former slaves.
Sean Hannity said he was going to send George $1000.00 with hopes that George may be able to upgrade his 6 x 9 shack and have plenty of money to expand his life style . George currently lives on $12.00 yearly .
Obama wasn't a multimillionaire until 2006 either. So he's known now for 2 years. Moreover the story has been in the press for 2 months. Still not a single penny in assistance from Obama.
Meanwhile the McCain's found a poor girl who was left for dead in Bangladesh, and adopted her and raised her as one of their own.
Alas this is Obama's brother, and thus total SILENCE from the MSM.
The McCains should adopt George Obama.
There was a thread earlier were there was a discussion of Obama’s ancestry. If the man Obama tabbed is his father, then Obama is not black.
Obama’s father has a black great-grandparent but the rest of his ancestry is Arabic. He is descended from slave traders.
In Obama’s case, he has no black great-grandparents, so in US law, he’s not black. He’s half-white and almost half-Arabic.
He’s an Arab-American.
